A no frills blog post on the hardware features of the Analog Discovery 3 in less than 350 words for those of you that don’t have time for extra words. …
Digilent is thrilled to present the Analog Discovery 3, the highly anticipated successor to the acclaimed Analog Discovery 2. Building upon the legacy of its predecessor, the AD3 continues to …
As many of you have heard (otherwise I presume you wouldn’t be reading this post) the Analog Discovery 3 has been released by Digilent. One of the biggest questions that …
This post describes a senior design project that students at North Carolina State University (NCSU) worked on, in which the Analog Discovery 2 (AD2) is equipped with extra features tailored …
As engineers, we know the importance of having versatile and effective tools at our disposal. The Analog Discovery 2 from Digilent is one such tool that has become a staple …
We’ve been working with Pavel Demin, a research engineer based in Belgium, on several projects related to the Eclypse. For the first, to demonstrate approaches to rapid prototyping, he put …
The 4-20 mA current loop interface came about because of the need to transmit information over long distances. System designers found that instead of a changing a voltage signal [that …
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is today’s go-to device for changing an analog signal into a digital binary value. The ADC takes a snapshot in time that approximates the actual value …
In this post, the hardware design for the Eclypse Z7 to perform wireless communication is discussed. The initial considerations behind the circuit design and PCB design have discussed in this …
Thermocouples are a popular way to measure temperature due to their low cost, ease-of-use, and wide measurement range. This article explains the difficulties in making accurate thermocouple measurements, how the …
At some point during a FPGA engineers’ career, they will be faced with a difficult bug in their VHDL or Verilog code and they’ll ask themselves: “Why are we stuck …
What is jitter? Jitter is the variance in where exactly a clock falls. You might expect that a 100 MHz clock has edges that occur exactly every 10 ns. However, …
Imagine you have just a few measurements left before you can hand over your latest project to your sales team so that they can present it to potential customers. But …
So what is it? The Digilent Test & Measurement Toolbox allows users to acquire and analyze data in MATLAB using Digilent’s test and measurment devices. Featuring analog data streaming, digital …
WaveForms. It’s the software suite that controls all of Digilent’s Test and Measurement devices including the popular Analog Discovery 2, the Analog Discovery Pro series boards, and the Digital Discovery. …
COILS COILS COILS If you’re like me, you’ll have many wireless charging coils around your lab for various standards. They likely entered your lab well-dressed; adorned in well-labelled packaging, …
A classic interaction between a new FPGA user and an embattled older engineer (whether on our Forums or elsewhere) goes as follows: New engineer: My design doesn’t work, could you …
Acquiring and Measuring FM Radio Frequencies From Your Desktop Overview Using Waveforms’ Oscilloscope or Spectrum Analyzer instruments to acquire the typical FM radio frequencies is just one of the capabilities …
In this last installment of our four-part blog series about creating a smart lamp, we will bring everything together. The HAL for the WaveForms SDK we developed in the Part …
Using Additional Software to View Date Remotely Now that we’ve created a working distributed data collection and display system (see parts 1 through 4), let’s briefly explore other software packages available …
Distributing the Applications to View the Data Remotely The goal of this article series is to demonstrate how to create a data acquisition system on one system, and view the …
